SurvivalServers (DayZ) 69 Posted September 20, 2012 I can't find one hosted by HFB, I only see US 3360 hosted by SurvivalServers.comI just checked and we assigned you the correct Location ID that was given to us.Let me know if you have any other concerns.Sincerely,Survival Servers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evolover (DayZ) 6 Posted September 20, 2012 hey thanks. dayz commander doesnt show it. if you search from in game there are two. they even accidently came into our server thinking it was the other server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evolover (DayZ) 6 Posted September 20, 2012 you might be right but all im saying is that there is another US 3360. my friends didnt believe me because they use dayz commander. they confirmed it from in game multplayer server search. the reason im concerned is because people are confused as to which us 3360 they have been playing in. i advertise the server as US 3360 so I would like to be the only one. i didnt know someone else could take my number.

SurvivalServers (DayZ) 69 Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) I have confirmed that there is a server running with the location ID US 3360 with HFB Servers. I'm not sure if we were both assigned the same location ID. I know that 3360 was assigned to one of my servers but I can't answer for HFB. Hoping one of them will chime in.Screenshot: Edited September 20, 2012 by SurvivalServers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drwright420@hotmail.com 6 Posted September 20, 2012 I have seen this with many servers that are online. I am an admin at US #500 (hosted by multiplay for 3xA-gaming.net), if you use dayzcommander or the in-game multiplayer server browser you will find around 50 #500 servers, 15 of which are US #500. This is also quite confusing considering we tell people to join US #500 and they join one of many. I thought this was normal, but from the sounds of SurvivalServers and Kiotie, this is not intended.

caboose_neg_1 24 Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) how hard is it to tell someone to join hosted by "enter name here" all i see here is a trivial complaintlike twamp said above there are many servers like this.

drwright420@hotmail.com 6 Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) how hard is it to tell someone to join hosted by "enter name here" I agree 100%, the best way in my opinion is to just give them the IP:PORT.HOWEVER, my post here was to add some validity to the claim that there are servers which have the same ID.Also having admins for two seperate hosting services most likely "watching" this thread, my intent was purely that one of them might present an explanation as to why multiple servers have the same ID.how hard is it to tell someone to join hosted by "enter name here" all i see here is a trivial complaintlike twamp said above there are many servers like this.^^ All i see here is a useless post reducing the lifespan of my mouse's scroll wheel. ^^ Edited September 20, 2012 by Twamp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought this was normal, but from the sounds of SurvivalServers and Kiotie, this is not intended.All the "#500" servers are hosted by Multiplay. Basically, they are not following our rules and are too lazy to properly name their servers for their customers. Based on my own dealings with them and the lies I was told, I do not recommend them.

drwright420@hotmail.com 6 Posted September 20, 2012 Who would be the best person to discuss this with them? Me as an admin? or DayZ staff as the voice of god ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
urbanfox 116 Posted September 20, 2012 We are trying to resolve this with them.Honestly? Take your money somewhere else. Losing customers will send a message.I can tell you for a fact they are the only hosting company who do not follow our naming convention and then lie about the reasons why. If there are hosting companies that are much, much larger than them that can follow the rules, there is no reason they can't either.At this time, I would stay away from them completely. It's not fair their clients can't get their own unique name that we originally assigned to them because Multiplay is too lazy to do so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Replacement69 0 Posted September 20, 2012 i am Kinda dissapointed how this was handled was the Server Owner even consulted cause now the clan which had a good amount of Time invested in Establishing a Base and players that have spent days straight getting them self's tents set up and geared up is all gone now. Why cant there be more then 1 US 3360 they were hosted by differnt servers and not even named the same other then the US 3360 so there was no problem i could find the servers with no issue in joining the wrong server.

The instance ID was left alone, therefore the only thing that was changed was the hostname. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
